Great!

I guess the previous info was taken from
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/j/jaguar/ or
https://wwf.panda.org/knowledge_hub/teacher_resources/best_place_species/current_top_10/jaguar.cfm:
"The name jaguar is derived from the Native American word *yaguar*, which
means “he who kills with one leap."
I've still updated it to your string, better a good information than a
unsure one.

I have to see if it is possible to have both strings. I used
https://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Frameworks_Localization_Policy#Marking_user_visible_text
but there is only one string, we can't specify singular and plural form.
